D.
It revolves around the sun.
E.
It may be higher in the sky during winter.
due to the Earth's axial tilt , constellations appear to move higher or lower in the sky, depending on the season
I suggest you get someone in your family to read this, and explain what Professor Scott told you. And finally, you need to work on reading comprehension, there are good exercises for that.
To determine how the position of a constellation changes seasonally, there are several factors to consider. Here are the explanations for each option:
A. It shifts from west to east.
This statement is true. As a result of Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east, the constellations appear to move from east to west across the sky.
B. It shifts from east to west.
This statement is incorrect. The constellations shift from west to east, not the other way around.
C. It rotates around Earth.
This statement is partially correct. The constellations do appear to rotate around the Earth due to the Earth's rotation, but it is more accurate to say that stars appear to move across the sky because of Earth's rotation, rather than the constellations rotating around the Earth.
D. It revolves around the sun.
This statement is incorrect. The constellations themselves do not revolve around the sun. They are fixed patterns of stars that appear to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation.
E. It may be higher in the sky during winter.
This statement is true. Depending on the latitude and time of year, certain constellations may appear higher in the sky during winter compared to other seasons. This is because of the tilt of Earth's axis, which causes the Sun to appear lower in the sky during winter, and in turn, raises the position of certain constellations.
In conclusion, options A, C, and E are correct regarding the changes in the position of constellations seasonally.
